Since I started running 'seriously', I've always had my eye on the London Marathon - after all, it goes right through the London neighbourhood I call home. More recently, I've decided I want to do it, and I've been honoured by Time & Talents to run for them. In order to do this honour justice, I'm going to put serious effort into raising much-needed funds for them. That's where I need YOU! Please :)

Based in the heart of Rotherhithe in South East London, Time & Talents provides vital support, fun and friendship to local kids, families and older people. We offer everything from befriending and social support for isolated older adults, to gardening clubs, groups for stroke survivors and visually impaired adults, and kids holiday clubs. We deeply value our community, and work hard to help everyone feel valued, connected and included. Our wonderful London Marathon runners help us to raise much-needed funds, all of which go directly into our community programmes. We will spend every pound on fighting the isolation experienced by so many older people, and on supporting kids and families bearing the brunt of years of government cuts and reduced services. With your generous help, we can keep being a much-loved community hub, and keep working to build a happier, healthier community where no one feels left behind.
